The three-story, 75,000-sf Baylor McKinney II medical office building at 5252 W. University Dr. will help meet a growing demand for health care services in the North Texas city.

"McKinney, Dallas and Fort Worth are some of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and residents' health care needs are increasing right along with that growth," said Baylor CEO Joel Allison, in a statement.

"There aren't enough physicians to treat local residents, plus residents are underserved in a number of medical specialty areas, especially surgical specialties," he added. "We expect that the new facility will help us meet some of that growing demand."

Baylor Scott & White affiliates are expected to lease the majority of the new building.

Construction on Baylor McKinney II is slated for completion in September 2016.​
